Dance IS my Drug

I haven't been out dancing in forever it seems. It has to have been at least 8 months or so, and I have an itch I need to scratch so badly!!! I will dance at home but nothing is like the energy I feel out on the dance floor. Its like I dissolve into the crowd and become one with everyone. Anyone else feel this way? I know it sounds so silly. But its a form of expression for me. I even wrote a poem on it. Hips sway to the beat, That speaks to my soul Closing my eyes Let it have control I twirl and i spin Out on the floor My own piece of heaven No judgment is here For hours and hours I dance and I glide My only true happiness My one true love Can't live without it Dance is my drug

I just LUV dancing also Tragicbeauty. I know what you mean about being in a crowd and feeling as one. I havent been out dancing in a very long time. I just dont have the time but I always have music on and I dance around the house.....dog thinks Im weird, hubby also but they're used to it now. It also makes me more happy to do everything while moving my feet and hips to the beat. Congratulations for your poem, its lovely. Hope you can get back to dancing soon......maybe this weekend, call a friend and go have fun!!

I always play music and I dance around the house as well. My kids think I'm so funny. I even dance to no music at all. My husband will catch me sometimes. Hm perhaps i should take a class just out of boredom. Thanks for the input on the poem.

I just kind of free style dance, I have pole danced as well, its good core exercise. I think some people are just born dancers, like some are born to sing. Now mind you I can not sing

I used to dance a lot - can't remember the last time I enjoyed going out to a dance. I married a bore who didn't like "loud musc" so that was it. He's now my ex, mind. My youngest loves to dance - especially tap and latin, so she's got me moving again. Currently I do Zumba - or did till I got ill. Back next week but it's hard - more aerobics really. I also did Samba for a while but the choreography is tricky - I get left behind. I like expressing myself naturally, but it's good to have a few moves under your belt. One day, I'll finish learning Lindy Hop so I can go to the 100 Club on a monday night and dance to a real live swing band!
